Blank of the Blank #2 Poetic Asides Challenge Nov 8

The Praise of My Lips

 

Thank you for being awesome and glorious.

Let the praise of my lips focus on you

and your great works.

 

Thank you for poetry

and that somehow you brought me to it,

though I resisted at first.

 

Lord do you get tired of meeting with resistance

almost every time you ask your people to do something

like Jonah running to Tarshish?

 

Help me be like Mary, though

having a baby was impossible she said,

“Let it be as you say.”

 

And like Jesus,

when facing crucifixion said,

“Not my will but Yours be done.”

 

I offer You my dreams, plans, and goals.

May my art, writing, and music

originate in the mind of Christ.
